I’m very sorry you had to find out.
In the 1983 movie War Games, the intelligent military supercomputer figures out that nuclear wars have no winners. Too bad that’s not how things are working out.
The Godfather.
I decided to follow you. You had me on this guy calling you an “Antifa stenographer.”
(ps. I’m Eph ‘83)
I’m glad you were there! So were several of my former Meadville students, I’m humbled to say. I sent a video of Schenck to Rabbi Danya Ruttenburg, who said this was exactly the sort of repentance and repair she wrote about.
Or you could follow the example of the Ig Nobel Prizes, who have a 10 year old girl march up to the speaker and start saying, very loudly and repeatedly, “Please stop, I’m bored!”
When Trump said the federal government must take over elections in “fifteen places,” I assume he means the fifteen Democratic “trifecta” states (which would include mine). If he actually tries that, he will get the civil war he seems to want.
I like it! I know both authors, Bob especially. He’s “the man” for Concord history (and he now lives there). He and Thorson , a geologist, used to teach a course together at UConn on _Walden_, and from T. I learned that Thoreau was well ahead of his time as a hydrologist of rivers (a potamologist).
His statue, in DC, is made out metal from melted Confederate cannons.
They’ve got African, Rockhopper, and Little Blue Penguins over there (all small and cute, but the Little Blues are wee and cute), and even a special place where elderly penguins can go to get peace and quiet.
If you’ve never read Johnson’s comic strip, _Barnaby_, you should.
(I’m reading a couple of your books right now.)
It would be perfect for the right book—but which???
In Cambridge, Mass., an indie store has solved the Which Genre of Romance problem by stocking all of them (and throwing in a coffee shop and wine bar for good measure).

I just posted this, too! Your picture from movie is better.

He sought Epstein’s advice for cheating on his wife with a brilliant young “mentee” whom he saw only as a racially-fetishized sex object. He needs to go. She was not a student, though. She was a tenured professor in London. She got her Harvard Ph.D. in 2009; her advisor was not him, but Ken Rogoff.
You’re right. I meant UC Berkeley. The UC police are the ones who, I believe, never send anyone to Santa Rita. Sorry to be unclear.
I hear the arrested protesters were treated badly overnight, which is not surprising, but still appalling.
My understanding is that they were arrested by Berkeley police, but sent to the Santa Rita jail. This never happens, so they were hard to find. Between that and the high bail, the goal seems to me to have been to put them away for days at least. They got out this evening though.
The Salient has been around for decades, and it was always bad. Now it’s apparently so bad that even its own alumni want to shut it down.
Sure. Eloise, Louisa, and Mila identify as Chinese-American; Eloise speaks Chinese; “Racist, Sexist Boy” was about anti-Chinese bigotry. But they’re also “Asian-American” and so group themselves with artists of Japanese and Korean background. (Eloise’s dad’s “Giant Robot” was about “Asian” pop art.)
They say their name was inspired by both the movie and song, and both references work. They’re an Asian/Hispanic schoolgirl punk band. “Linda Linda” is the most famous Asian punk song and “Linda Linda Linda” is about an Asian schoolgirl band. Also, “linda linda” means “very pretty” in Spanish.

I once took a medieval history class, and there was a lecture, “The Black Death: The Worker’s Friend”?
A propaganda poster about Germany that quotes Mirabeau and features a cephalopod!
And this, of all movies, happened to be the one interrupted on TV (it was getting its network debut debut on ABC), with a special news report from Selma showing footage of the brutal assault on civil rights marchers at the Pettus Bridge.
If it can’t be moved, just imagine the Air B&B possibilities.
Thank you for putting in the work on this enlightening thread.
If I ever start posting history threads, they would look this. You post the way I talk!
